Never saw it coming is a big reason people quit

running in France
it was better than no run at all

Never saw it coming is a big reason people quit. Case in point. Two weeks ago I spent a week in Paris…only ran 15 minutes. The past week nursing a severe head cold…huge wrench in running plans. Falling two weeks behind compared to where I’ve been working years to get back to…just another day in paradise.

Don’t quit. Even when things happen you never saw coming. Be flexible. Adapt. Stay healthy, have fun.

My very first 5k is now an annual tradition

5k motivation
finding a million ways isn't theory, it's do or die
5k
feeling even better than last year's 2011 run

Maybe a decade ago I needed to find a great reason to not quit running. Had been running on my own for several years but was really struggling to get out of bed to do it. Enter a 5k? Maybe that would be interesting since I’d never done it before. So that’s what I did.

And now the 2012 Windermere “Run Among the Lakes” 11th annual 5k is almost here again…can’t wait.

While the question is for this summer, it’s applicability should be constant.

Yesterday’s question has a simple answer. So simple in fact, most people ignore it because they believe their problems challenges “can’t be that simple to solve“.

The exercise answer to the most important first step……… is staying motivated. Fail this and you will fail. Conquer this and you conquer failure.
